Just to expand a little bit on what Glenn has said, once you have the site
gauges installed, start with an empty tank. Dispense fuel into the tank
slowly. You will need help with this as one person will have to dispense
the fuel and one person will have to watch the site glass at the tank. Have
them stop filling at 25 gallons (or 20, or 10, or whatever you choose). If
you can see the level in the glass, then mark it. Now have them put in
another 25 gallons (or 20, or 10, or whatever you choose) and mark it. Keep
going until the tank is full. Now you have an accurate gauge of how much
fuel is in the tank.
Any time we leave the dock the fuel in the tanks is recorded as part of our
check list so I can keep tabs on how much fuel is being used after a run.
